Dead drones in telescoping cover

I pulled off the cover on one of my hives, and noticed I had a bunch of dead drones which got trapped between the inner cover and outer cover.

This is a standard mann lake telescoping cover. I'm not running a queen excluder, so they didn't get trapped into the upper box or anything.

It looks like they crawled out the center hole and got stuck.

I'm not really a big fan of these telescoping covers, I have started switching to homemade migratory covers with an additional top entrance.
